Part II Reading Comprehension

Directions:

Each of the passages below is followed by some questions. For each questions there are four answers marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Then mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1 by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets with a pencil. (40 points)

Passage 1

Specialisation can be seen as a response to the problem of an increasing accumulation of scientific knowledge. By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units,one man could continue to handle the information and use it as the basis for further research. But specialisation was only one of a series of related developments in science affecting the process of communication. Another was the growing professionalisation of scientific activity.

No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science: exceptions can be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word “amateur”does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not fully share its values. The growth of specialisation in the nineteenth century, with its consequent requirement of a longer, more complex training, implied greater problems for amateur participation in science. The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom.

A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals not simply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research, but also a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable research paper. Thus, in the nineteenth century, local geological studies represented worthwhile research in their own right; but, in the twentieth century, local studies have increasingly become acceptable to professionals only if they incorporate, and reflect on, the wider geological picture. Amateurs, on the other hand, have continued to pursue local studies in the old way. The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in the twentieth century. As a logical consequence of this development, separate journals have now appeared aimed mainly towards either professional or amateur readership.

A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies, whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way.

Although the process of professionalisation and specialisation was already well under way

in British geology during the nineteenth century, its full consequences were thus delayed until the twentieth century. In science generally, however, the nineteenth century must be reckoned as the crucial period for this change in the structure of science.

21. The growth of specialisation in the 19th century might be more clearly seen in sciences such

as _______.

[AJ sociology and chemistry [B] physics and psychology

[C] sociology and psychology [D] physics and chemistry

22. We can infer from the passage that _______.

[A] there is little distinction between specialisation and professionalisation

[B] amateurs can compete with professionals in some areas of science

[C] professionals tend to welcome amateurs into the scientific community

[D] amateurs have national academic societies but no local ones

23. The author writes of the development of geology to demonstrate ______.

[A] the process of specialisation and professionalisation

[B] the hardship of amateurs in scientific study

[C] the change of policies in scientific publications

[D] the discrimination of professionals against amateurs

24. The direct reason for specialisation is _______.

[A] the development in communication

[B] the growth of professionalisation

[C] the expansion of scientific knowledge

[D] the splitting up of academic societies

Passage 2

A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide-the division of the world into the info (information) rich and the info poor. And that divide does exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. What was less visible then, however, were the new, positive forces that work against the digital divide. There are reasons to be optimistic.

There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized, it is in the interest of business to universalize access-after all, the more people online, the more potential customers there are. More and more governments, afraid their countries will be left behind, want to spread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will he netted together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for combating world poverty that we’ve ever had.

Of course, the use of the Internet isn’t the only way to defeat poverty. And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has enormous potential.

To take advantage of this tool, some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment. Countries that still think

foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure(the basic structural foundations of a society)in the United States. When the United States built its industrial infrastructure, it didn’t have the capital to do so. And that is why America’s Second Wave infrastructure-including roads, harbors, highways, ports and so on-were built with foreign investment. The English, the Germans, the Dutch and the French were investing in Britain’s former colony. They financed them. Immigrant Americans built them. Guess who owns them now? The Americans. I believe the same thing would be true in places like Brazil or anywhere else for that matter. The more foreign capital you have helping you build your Third Wave infrastructure, which today is an electronic infrastructure, the better off you’re going to be. That doesn't mean lying down and becoming fooled, or letting foreign corporations run uncontrolled. But it does mean recognizing how important they can be in building the energy and telecom infrastructures needed to take full advantage of the Internet.

25. Digital divide is something _______.

[A] getting worse because of the Internet

[B] the rich countries are responsible for

[C] the world must guard against

[D] considered positive today

26. Governments attach importance to the Internet because it _______.

[A] offers economic potentials

[B] can bring foreign funds

[C] can soon wipe out world poverty

[D] connects people all over the world

27. The writer mentioned the case of the United States to justify the policy of _______.

[A] providing financial support overseas

[B] preventing foreign capital’s control

[C] building industrial infrastructure

[D] accepting foreign investment

28. It seems that now a country’s economy depands much on ______.

[A] how well-developed it is electronically

[B] whether it is prejudiced against immigrants

[C] whether it adopts America’s industrial pattern

[D] how much control it has over foreign corporations

Passage 3

Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project.

Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of headscratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.

But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through

a set of standard templates (patterns) into which they plug each day’s events. In other words, there is a conventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for otherwise confusions news.

There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers which helps explain why the “standard templates”of the newsroom seem alien many readers. In a recent survey, questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle size cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan area. Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions.

Replies show that compared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses, and trade stocks, and they’re less likely to go to church, do volunteer work, or put down roots in community.

Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite, so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite. The astonishing distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily clash of world views between reporters and their readers.

This is an explosive situation for any industry, particularly a declining one. Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. Then it sponsors lots of symposiums and a credibility project dedicated to wondering why customers are annoyed and fleeing in large numbers. But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases that so many former buyers are complaining about. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.

29. What is the passage mainly about?

[A] needs of the readers all over the world.

[B] causes of the public disappointment about newspapers.

[C] origins of the declining newspaper industry.

[D] aims of a journalism credibility project.

30. The results of the journalism credibility project turned out to be ______.

[A] quite trustworthy [B] somewhat contradictory

[C] very illuminating [D] rather superficial

31. The basic problem of journalists as pointed out by the writer lies in their ______.

[A] working attitude [B] conventional lifestyle

[C] world outlook [D] educational background

32. Despite its efforts, the newspaper industry still cannot satisfy the readers owing to

its_______.

[A] failure to realize its real problem

[B] tendency to hire annoying reporters

[C] likeliness to do inaccurate reporting

[D] prejudice in matters of race and gender

Passage 4

The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. The process sweeps from hyperactive America to Europe and reaches the emerging countries with unsurpassed might. Many in these countries are looking at this process and worrying: "Won't the wave of business concentration turn into an uncontrollable anti-competitive force?"

There's no question that the big are getting bigger and more powerful. Multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982. Today the figure is more than 25% and growing rapidly. International affiliates account for a fast-growing segment of production in economies that open up and welcome foreign investment. In Argentina, for instance, after the reforms of the early 1990s, multinationals went from 43% to almost 70% of the industrial production of the 200 largest firms. This phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role of smaller economic firms, of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of the world economy.

I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&A wave are the same that underlie the globalization process: falling transportation and communication costs, lower trade and investment barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers' demands. All these are beneficial, not detrimental, to consumers. As productivity grows, the world's wealth increases.

Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty. Yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could re-create the same threats to competition that were feared nearly a century ago in the U.S., when the Standard Oil trust was broken up. The mergers of telecom companies, such as WorldCom, hardly seem to bring higher prices for consumers or a reduction in the pace of technical progress. On the contrary, the price of communications is coming down fast. In cars, too, concentration is increasing-witness Daimler and Chrysler, Renault and Nissan-but it does not appear that consumers are being hurt.

Yet the fact remains that the merger movement must be watched. A few weeks ago, Alan Greenspan warned against the megamergers in the banking industry. Who is going to supervise, regulate and operate as lender of last resort with the gigantic banks that are being created? Won't multinationals shift production from one place to another when a nation gets too strict about infringements to fair competition? And should one country take upon itself the role of “defending competition” on issues that affect many other nations, as in the U S. vs. Microsoft case ?

33. What is the typical trend of businesses today?

[A] to take in more foreign funds. [B] to invest more abroad.

[C] to combine and become bigger. [D] to trade with more countries.

34. According to the author, one of the driving forces behind M&A wave is ______

[A] the greater customer demands. [B] a surplus supply for the market.

[C] a growing productivity. [D] the increase of the world's wealth.

35. From paragraph 4 we can infer that ______.

[A] the increasing concentration is certain to hurt consumers

[B] WorldCom serves as a good example of both benefits and costs

[C] the costs of the globalization process are enormous

[D] the Standard Oil trust might have threatened competition

36. Toward the new business wave, the writer's attitude can he said to be _______.

[A] optimistic [B] objective

[C] pessimistic [D] biased

Passage 5

When I decided to quit my full time employment it never occurred to me that I might become a part of a new international trend. A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming “I wanted to spend more time with my family”.

Curiously, some two-and-a-half years and two novels later, my experiment in what the Americans term “downshifting”has turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality. I have been transformed from a passionate advocate of the philosophy of “having it all”, preached by Linda Kelsey for the past seven years in the pages of She magazine, into a woman who is happy to settle for a bit of everything.

I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life”, and making the alternative move into “downshifting”brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status. Nothing could persuade me to return to the kind of life Kelsey used to advocate and I once enjoyed: 12-hour working days, pressured deadlines, the fearful strain of office politics and the limitations of being a parent on “quality time”.

In America, the move away from juggling to a simpler, less materialistic lifestyle is a well-established trend. Downshifting-also known in America as “voluntary simplicity” has, ironically, even bred a new area of what might be termed anticonsumerism. There are a number of bestselling downshifting self-help books for people who want to simplify their lives; there are newsletter's, such as The Tightwad Gazette, that give hundreds of thousands of Americans useful tips on anything from recycling their cling-film to making their own soap; there are even support groups for those who want to achieve the mid- '90s equivalent of dropping out.

While in America the trend started as a reaction to the economic decline——after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late’80s——and is still linked to the politics of thrift, in Britain, at least among the middle-class downshifters of my acquaintance, we have different reasons for seeking to simplify our lives.

For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the’80s, downshifting in the mid-'90s is not so much a search for the mythical good life——growing your own organic vegetables, and risking turning into one——as a personal recognition of your limitations.

37. Which of the following is true according to paragraph 1?

[A] Full-time employment is a new international trend.

[B] The writer was compelled by circumstances to leave her job.

[C] “A lateral move” means stepping out of full-time employment.

[D] The writer was only too eager to spend more time with her family.

38. The writer’s experiment shows that downshifting ____

[A] enables her to realize her dream

[B] helps her mold a new philosophy of life

[C] prompts her to abandon her high social status

[D] leads her to accept the doctrine of She magazine

39. “Juggling one’s life” probably means living a life characterized by_____.

[A] non-materialistic lifestyle [B] a bit of everything

[C] extreme stress [D] anti-consumerism

40. According to the passage, downshifting emerged in the U.S. as a result of _____

[A] the quick pace of modern life [B] man’s adventurous spirit

[C] man’s search for mythical experiences [D] the economic situation

Part III English-Chinese Translation

Directions:

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (15 points)

In less than 30 years’ time the Star Trek holodeck will be a reality. Direct links between the brain’s nervous system and a computer will also create full sensory virtual environments, allowing virtual vacations like those in the film Total Recall.

41)There will be television chat shows hosted by robots, and cars with pollution monitors that will disable them when they offend. 42)Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chips, computers with in-built personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools, relaxation will be in front of smell television, and digital age will have arrived.

According to BT’s futurologist, Ian Pearson, these are among the developments scheduled for the first few decades of the new millennium(a period of 1,000 years), when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life.

43)Pearson has pieced together the work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place. Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine, including an extended life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs coming into use between now and 2040.

Pearson also predicts a breakthrough in computer-human links. “By linking directly to our nervous system, computers could pick up what we feel and, hopefully, simulate feeling too so that we can start to develop full sensory environments, rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck, ” he says. 44)But that, Pearson points out, is only the start of man-machine integration: “It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century.”

Through his research, Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be

predicted. However, there are still no forecasts for when faster-than-light travel will be available, or when human cloning will be perfected, or when time travel will be possible. But he does expect social problems as a result of technological advances. A boom in neighborhood surveillance cameras will, for example, cause problems in 2010, while the arrival of synthetic lifelike robots will mean people may not be able to distinguish between their human friends and the droids.

45)And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorder—kitchen rage.

Section V Writing

考研英语真题经验和方法 阅读理解的文章大多为说明文或者议论文。针对这两类文章,考生应该有不同的阅读重点和策略。对于说明文来说,最重要的是抓住文章的说明对象、事实和数据;对于议论文来说,最重要的是总结作者的观点和结论、抓住作者的态度,以及作者的观点和态度与其他人的观点和态度之间的关系等等。 13个重点考点和四大命题原则。考生应该熟记这些重点考点,并在平时的练习中训练自己对这些考点的敏感程度,做到使自己的神经能够一找到这些考点就会条件反射般地兴奋起来,从而增强对重点的记忆和理解。下面首先将一一介绍阅读理解文章的敏感考点。 1、首段和尾段 一篇文章的主题句、或者说是中心思想往往出现在文章的首段或者尾段。大家在阅读了一定数量的文章之后就能够发现,许多文章开门见山地在文章第一段中就提出了要说明的对象或者要论证的观点,这些中心思想句的位置一般都是文章第一句话或者第一段的最后一两句话。 此外,文章的最后一段一般都会对全文的说明和论证进行总结,这些句子往往位于最后一段的第一句话或最后一句话。通过一些标志性词汇或者短语,我们可以更快地找到这些总结性句子,如: allinall,inshort,toconclude,inconsequence,insummary,inaword,asaresult,the refore,accordingly,thus等。 主题句考查了考生是否能够把握文章大意的能力,因此是常考且几乎是必考的一个考点。 2、段首和段尾 无论是说明文还是议论文,一篇文章往往会分成几个部分或层次进行说明和论证,每一个段落一般都是一个部分或者层次。英美人写文章的逻辑性非常强,文章结构都非常规范,因此每个段落的首句和尾句也经常是该段落的中心思想句,因此也是出题的重点区域,涉及的问题包括了中心思想题、推理判断题和细节题等。下文也将会提到,在进行快速阅读的时候,考生只需要浏览文章每一段的第一句话就大致能够判断这篇文章的中心思想和主旨。 3、长难句 上文提到了长难句是阅读理解的主要难度所在,其中包含了同位语、插入语、定语、不定式、分词、各种从句等,使得句子长达好几行。因此这些复杂的句型也往往成为了试题的重点所在。考生应该加强训练自己对付长难句的能力,平时练习中有意识地去分解这些句子,理解其中的指代关系和句子层次。 4、列举处 所谓的列举是指通过一些表示顺承关系的词语逐项列出一些事实或者观点,标志性的词汇包括First,Second,Third…;Firstly,Secondly,Thirdly… Finally;Firstofall,Then,Inaddition,Further,Furthermore,Besides,Moreover…针对这一考点的题目通常考查文章细节,有时候也涉及对文章内容的推理判断。这种题目没有固定的提问方式,不过通常会有两种题型:第一种是从四个答案选项中选择正确的一项,错误选项的意思往往与文章的意思相反或因果关系颠倒;第二中

③从上下文(词汇的前后几句)中找到与所给词汇具有相同词性的词(如一下子找不到就再往上往下找),代入所给词汇在文章中的位置(将之替换)看语义是否合适 ④找出选项中与代替词意思相同或相近的选相,即答案 注意:a.如果该词汇是简单词汇,则其字面意思必然不是正确答案。 b.考研阅读不是考察字认识不认识,而是考察是否能根据上下文作出正确的判断。 c.词汇题的正确答案经常蕴藏在原文该词

2020考研英语二各题型答题技巧汇总.doc

2020考研英语二各题型答题技巧汇总 技巧一、完形填空 1.题量较多,分数较低,可以的话放在最后来回答。 2.答题步骤可分为: (1)先通读题目和选项,题目一般含有文中的关键词,选项一般是对某一个段落或某几个段落的概括总结。通读题目和选项后,会对文章的主题和大概内容有所了解。 (2)找出题目的关键词所在的段落,找出选项中与关键词所在段落同义、近义或相关性的词语,实现关键词的对接,确定句子间的关联性,从而选出正确答案。另外,通过阅读选项,有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子,通过阅读文章,我们就可以直接将该选项排除,进一步降低选项的难度。 (3)把选出的选项同题目连在一起阅读,查看内容是否连贯,前后是否一致。 3.参考“红花绿叶”原则: (1)红花词:以下8个词(词组)均出现过3次以上,每次都作为正确答案出现:however,while,although,forexample,suchas,because... (2)绿叶词:以下10个词均出现2-3次,但从未成为正确答案:at,ifonly,onlyif,nowthat...

技巧二、阅读理解 1.五种题型不同的应对方法: (1)细节题 根据题目寻找关键词,再根据关键词定位所在段落。80%往下找,20%往上找,要注意的是,跟文章几乎一模一样的选项,一般是错误的,正确答案是和文章主旨相符合的。 (2)主旨题 需要看清楚这篇文章的主要描写的对象是什么。因为错误选项中最常见的就是混淆关系,张冠李戴。此外,这类题型答案多在文章末段可以找到,要多加留心文章的最后一段。同时,如果问某一段的中心思想,要注意这一段的首句和尾句。 (3)态度题 要审题。要注意文章中的主人物的观点和作者的观点是不同的。考生们在写这类题目时,可以在看文章时候划下语气词和主语,同时注意文章中的转折词,一般在转折词的后面可以找到答案。 (4)推断题 主要考查学生对这篇文章的理解,所以必须要根据题意通读文章内容。 (5)词义题

2018考研英语二阅读做题技巧大揭秘!

2018考研英语二阅读做题方法大揭秘! 一、先看问题再读文章 大家要时刻记得,阅读的主要目的就是做题,一定要先看题。先把题目浏览一遍,既提前知晓了文章在谈什么,又可以带着问题去有目的地阅读。 带着考点去浏览文章,不仅能够精确定位,也可以提高答题速度一举多得。记得阅读时间要把控好。既要读到要点,又要快速高效。 二、回到文中找答案 如果你自信对文章读的比较透,理解得比较准,在答题时最好也不要轻易勾出选项,还是需要把题目再带回原文中,核实准确再作答。 我用的真题(吕升运的考研圣经)在阅读答案解析部分,对每一个题都做了“回文定位”,给出了定位正确答案的方法。我感觉这个真的非常实用,大家选择真题就可以选择类似的。 因为有时候我们会有先入为主的概念,阅读中的理解不见得一定是精准的,须得把文章和题目结合起来,找出真正的契合点,找到文章的原句所在,才算真正把握好了答题的分寸。

三、细节题不过分延伸 考研英语阅读侧重于精读能力的考查,所以对细节题考察的非常多。对文中某一段、某一句或者某一单词、词组的理解,也是最需要把握分寸的所在。 纵观历年真题,几乎所有的细节题的正确答案,既不会直接照搬原文,也不会让你又过多的延伸,而往往都是同义替换,所谓“万变不离其宗”,答案一定不会有太大偏差。这个分寸,还需要自己再复习过程中做题去总结。 四、主旨题和态度题 主旨题和态度题也是最常见的考点,这些“题眼”也是非常好找的。文章主旨题一般会在前两段和最后一段;段落的主旨需

要自己去稍加概括。 态度题不难定位,但最大的难点在于如何确定观点是支持还是反对或是保持中立?这就需要一些态度词的积累。平时在复习阅读题中,要多多关注这类词。 五、注意同义替换的法则 考研英语阅读部分包含了大量的同义替换,这不仅仅是考察词汇的掌握能力,也是考察大家的观察能力和推理能力。有时候,一次词汇还会同义替换为一个词组。这样不仔细观察是难以发现的。 总而言之,阅读题就是需要技巧加耐心,大家也要有针对性的进行练习。上面这些技巧是我自己的做题经验,还有一些“零元课”视频里讲到知识点。希望对大家的备考有所帮助。 98%人都在用的考研英语二复习书: 一、词汇 1.《非常词汇》 适合人群:英语一和英语二通用 推荐理由:800个句子浓缩所有大纲单词,通过句子记单词,让你不再由A背到Z,背单词不再那么枯燥,记忆量大大变小了。赠送4大赠本中的《必考词+基础词+偶考词+超纲词》重点分明,如果时间不充足,那么只需要背必考词就可以啦! 2.闪过英语考研《必考词汇应用全书》

考研英语阅读理解命题技巧分析

2017考研英语:阅读理解命题技巧分析 试题质量的优劣关系到考试是否达到预期目的,因此命制试题是整个考试的中心环节。命题小组在命制试题时必须遵循既定的命题原则而且通常运用一些有规律可循的方法和手段去到达试题的测试目标。鉴于此,各位考生如能熟知考研试题的命题技巧,在解题时也会更加得心应手。 一、《大纲》对阅读理解A部分的评价目标 命题小组在设计试题时,一方面要在试题中考查考生是否能够读懂不同类型的文字材料(生词量不超过所读材料总词汇量的3%,包括信函、书报和杂志上的文章),而且还考查考生是否能够读懂与本人学习或工作有关的文献、技术说明、产品介绍等。根据所读材料,考生应该能够:(1)理解主旨要旨;(2)理解文中的具体信息;(3)理解文中的概念性含义; (4)进行有关的判断、推理和引申;(5)根据上下文推测生词的词义;(6)理解文章的总体结构以及上下文之间的关系;(7)理解作者的意图、观点或态度;(8)区分论点和论据。 二、命题的流程及方法 1)选材改编 在试题命制过程中,一般命题人在选好适当的文章之后,命题人要对原文进行以下几方面的改编: 第一、调整词数,将四篇文章的总词数控制在1600以内; 第二、删去文章标题。文章标题概括文章的主题,如果出现,文章大意就未睹先知。为了测试对文章主题和其他内容的理解,阅读理解原文的标题都要删去,让考生根据文章的内容去总结和把握; 第三、删减细节信息。出于把文章字数控制在要求的范围内的考虑,一些可有可无的细节、不影响文章总体结构的细节内容都要删除; 第四、替换超纲词汇。为了将超纲词汇控制在要求的范围内(全文的3%),也为了便于考生真正发挥阅读水平,有些超纲词汇被替换。如在2009年阅读理解的第一篇文章当中将超纲词汇mediocrity替换成了commonness;在第二篇文章当中将超纲词汇algorithms 替换成了programs;在第三篇文章当中将超纲词汇apex替换成了peak;在第四篇文章当中将超纲词汇aura替换成了atmosphere。 第五、合并拆分段落。为了使文章语言更加精炼,结构更加严谨,在删去部分内容后,为使上下文连贯,相邻段落被合并。为了使上下文更有层次,有时也会将统一的段落拆分。 经过以上几步改编,之后的文章不仅没有破坏原文的结构和内容,反而显得更加精炼:结构严谨,层次清晰,一篇成型的文章就完成了。 2)命制题干 在命制题干时,命题人遵循以下原则: 第一,题干应仅描述一个单一的问题,最好是一个问句或一个不完全的陈述句。题干和选项皆不宜过长,都要简洁、清楚,考点明确,尽量减少不必要的词语。在各选项中共同使用的文字或术语应该反映在题干上; 第二,题干和选项中不应含有与所考查内容无关的材料。尽量避免在题干中使用否定词。一旦在题干中出现了否定词,应该特别予以强调,如用黑体或者全大写;

考研英语阅读方法经典总结(非常实用)

考研阅读的基本解题思路:(四步走) 第一,扫描提干,划关键项。 第二,通读全文,抓住中心。 1. 通读全文,抓两个重点: ①首段(中心句、核心概念常在第一段,常在首段出题); ②其他各段的段首和段尾句。(其他部分略读,有重点的读) 2. 抓住中心,用一分半时间思考3个问题: ①文章叙述的主要内容是什么? ②文章中有无提到核心概念?文章的核心概念是什么(一般是反复出现的一个核心词) ③作者的大致态度是什么?(是谁对谁的态度) 第三,仔细审题,返回原文。(仔细看题干,把每道题和原文的某处建立联系,挂起钩)定位原则: ①通常是由题干出发,使用寻找关键词定位原则。(关键词:大写字母、地名、时间、数字等) ②自然段定位原则。出题的顺序与行文的顺序是基本一致的,一般每段对应一题。 ★要树立定位意识,每一题、每一选项都要回到原文中某一处定位。 第四,重叠选项,得出答案。(重叠原文=对照原文) 1. 通过题干返回原文:判断四个选项,抓住选项中的关键词,把选项定位到原文的某 处比较,重叠选项,选出答案。 2.作题练习要求:要有选一个答案的理由和其余三个不选的理由 结论性的句子需要慢读,引用说明的句子需要快读。 引用的作用有两点:1。支持自己的观点。2.批评别人论据的论点。 十大解题思路:

1.细节事实题 标志:文章提到具体的时间,地点,人物,问它们具体的关系。五个w,一个h。 做题的关键:返回原文(题干返回原文:1,根据关键词返回原文2.自然段返回原文;选项返回原文:1,重点词,同义词返回原文2.根据长难句返回原文) 迷惑选项的设置方式:1偷换概念(比如说蒙古人喝牛奶,而选项却说蒙古人喝豆浆)2.正反混淆(肯定说成否定,反之亦然)3,因果倒置4常识判断(符合常识的不一定对,但不符合常事的一定不对)5扩大范围(破车不是车,破车是破车) 2.例证题 标志:illustration 、demonstration、case 、example 、exemplify时 做题关键:准确找到例子所支持的观点,而不在于能看懂例子本身 做题步骤:返回原文,找到例子出处。然后,从例子出发,80%向上搜索,20%向下,找到该例子支持的观点,在四个选项中寻找与表达的观点最一致,意思最接近的一个。 干扰选项的特征: A就事论事。把例子中某一部分内容概括一下放到选项中。(特殊例证题,从文章的一个观点出发,来考文章之外的内容,做题关键:要把握观点) B混淆论点论据。 C列举无关常识。 要求:在阅读中,遇到长的例子,立即给这个例子定位,即找出起始点,从哪开始到哪结束。 3,词汇题(搜索代入法) 标志:在题目中明确指出原文中某处的单词或词组,要求辨别出意思 ①返回原文,找出该词汇出现的地方。 ②确定该词汇的词性 ③从上下文(词汇的前后几句)中找到与所给词汇具有相同词性的词(如一下子找不到就再往上往下找),代入所给词汇在文章中的位置(将之替换)看语义是否合适 ④找出选项中与代替词意思相同或相近的选相,即答案 注意:

高分学姐总结的考研英语一阅读理解复习方法与技巧

高分学姐总结的考研英语一阅读理解复习方法与技巧 大家都深知考研英语一阅读部分的重要性,但是对于如何复习考研英语阅读还是比较茫然,今天我就根据自己复习考研英语的经验,再结合“零元课”视频讲解的阅读技巧和考点分析,跟大家谈谈如何复习阅读理解才能达到最好的复习效果。 PS:有些是摘录“零元课”讲师的原话,在此特别鸣谢各位老师。 考研英语阅读题型一般分为7种:推理题、例证题、词汇题、句子理解题、指代题、主旨题、态度题。下面就分别谈谈各题型的复习技巧。 (一)词汇题 主要测试考生根据上下文正确推测判断词义的能力,考察词汇的掌握情况。标志是The word “…”inline …refers to … 复习方法:精读历年真题,将近十年真题文章中的生词全部记住,重点记忆一词多义的,还有固定搭配和相关词组,也要注意近反义词和近似词义辨析。推荐《考研真相》,对词汇注释很细致,也做了一些拓展,利于记忆相关词汇,增加词汇量。 做题技巧:1.返回原文注意结合上下文,理解该词的意思; 2.如果是考纲内词汇,则字面意思必然不是正确答案; 3.词汇的正确答案,经常蕴藏在原文该词出现的前后。 (二)例证题 例证题主要是考查考生通过段落、句子来推测文章的主旨、

支持的观点等。标记词有:“example, illustrate, case, exemplify, illustration”等。 复习方法:这种题型一是考察考生文章理解能力,二是考察考生逻辑能力,这些都需要多做题,多多总结,做题的时候要回文定位,总结常考的套路,学会利用文章来把握人物观点和文章主旨。 做题技巧:1.回文定位;2.90%向上,10%向下,搜索该例证周围的区域,找出例证支持的观点。一般要对该观点进行同意替换,既是正确选项。 (三)推理题 推理题一般包括数字推理,知识推断和逻辑推理,它主要考查我们理清上下逻辑关系的能力。推理题常常考查考生:1.进行有关的判断、推理和引申;2.理解作者的意图、观点或态度等。逻辑词常用的有:“infer, imply, suggest, conclude”等。 复习方法:同样需要多多做题,总结解题技巧,需要学会找关键词,比如转折,承接,递进……这些都是逻辑题的出题点,思路一定要清晰,逻辑题一般会有很多陷井,需要学习如何去规避。 做题技巧:1.各选项回文定位;2.依据原文的意思进行:“三错一对”的判断;3.注意推理时的“最近答案”原则。 四、句子理解题 句子理解题要求考生:理解文中的具体信息;理解文中的概

考研英语阅读答题技巧

考研阅读技巧总论 1.考研阅读理解文章的考点 1)首段和尾段 一篇文章的主题句、或者说是中心思想往往出现在文章的首段或者尾段。许多文章开门见山地在文章第一段中就提出了要说明的对象或者要论证的观点,这些中心思想句的位置一般都是文章第一句话或者第一段的最后一两句话。此外,文章的最后一段一般都会对全文的说明和论证进行总结,这些句子往往位于最后一段的第一句话或者最后一句话。通过一些标志性词汇或者短语,我们可以更快地找到这些总结性句子,如:all in all, in short, to conclude, in consequence, in summary, in a word, as a result, therefore, accordingly, thus等。主题句(一般是首段首句、二段一句、末段末句)考查了考生是否能够把握文章大意的能力,因此是常考且几乎是必考的一个考点。 2)段首和段尾 无论是说明文还是议论文,一篇文章往往会分成几个部分或层次进行说明和论证,每一个段落一般都是一个部分或者层次。英美人写文章的逻辑性非常强,文章结构都非常规范,因此每个段落的首句和尾句也经常是该段落的中心思想句,因此也是出题的重点区域,涉及的题目包括中心思想题、推理判断题和细节题等。在进行快速阅读的时候,考生只需要浏览文章的每一段的第一句话就大致能够判断这篇文章的中心思想和主旨。 3)长难句 长难句是阅读理解的主要难度所在,其中包含了同位语、插入语、定语、不定式、分词、各种从句等,使得句子长达好几行。因此这些复杂的句型也往往成为了试题的重点所在。 4)列举处 所谓的列举是指通过一些表示顺承关系的词语逐项列出一些事实或者观点,标志性的词汇包括First, Second, Third...; Firstly, Secondly, Thirdly, ...Finally; First of all, Then, In addition, Further, Furthermore, Besides, moreover...针对这一考点的题目通常考查文章细节,有时候也涉及对文章内容的推理判断。这种题目没有固定的提问方式,不过通常会有两种题型:第一种是从四个答案选项中选择正确的一项,错误选项的意思往往与文章的意思相反或因果关系颠倒;第二种是从四个答案选项中选择错误的一项,即“except”题型,一般对照原文就能够找出错误的选项 5)举例处 一般的说明文和议论文都需要一些例子来支持作者的说明和论证,这些例子往往与作者的说明与论述有很大的关联,具有重大的意义,因此也成为了考题出处的热点。这种题目在文章中的线索非常明显,一般都带有如下的标志性词汇:for example, for instance, take…as an example, as, such as, like等。在做这种题目的时候,考生要牢记所举的例子一般都与文章的中心思想有着密切的联系,因此要在选项中去寻找与中心思想意思最接近的那一项。同时,一般文章举例处的前一句或者前几句就是与该例子相关的作者论点,所以在做此类题目的时候就需要追本溯源地往前读,才能保证所选答案的正确率。1999年以后几乎每年的考研阅读题中都有1-2道关于例证的题目,这应当引起考生的高度重视。常用的举例方法有两种:一是先提出观点,后举例说明;二是先列举事例再做出结论。考生应当学会举一反三,在具体的阅读文章中识别出各种例证。 6)引用处 说明文或者议论文中经常引用他人的观点来支持、佐证作者的观点。引文有可能是从正面来支持作者的观点,也有可能是作者通过驳斥反面观点从而论证自己的观点。因此,引文间接

考研英语阅读方法(从20题错一半到只错1题的经验)

阅读技巧: 核心思想就是“分块阅读”。一篇阅读有5个问题,每个问题是按顺序分布的。比如说一篇阅读有5段,第一问在第一段中找答案,第二问在第二段中找,以此类推,这就是所谓的“分块阅读法”,分块阅读的基础就是——题目是按顺序分块设置的。至于如何在“块”中发现答案,要找的就是“同义替换”,下文中会有详细介绍。(当然诸如“这篇文章的题目应选什么?”的问题除外,需要结合整篇文章作答,不过这类问题很少) 因此阅读的技巧和关键就在于“通过问题分解文章,缩小每次的阅读内容,各个击破”。切记不要一口气读完文章后将5个问题一齐作答,一来记不住文章的要点和细节,二来会中出题人的陷阱(干扰项其实就是在细节上做手脚),如偷梁换柱等。 阅读的方法如下: (1)扫一遍5个问题,对题干信息有个印象,看一眼就行了,不需要记住。然后按顺序精读,对含有题干信息的语句仔细阅读。另外,留意“Which of thefollowing would be the best title of the test?”、“The author’s attitudetowards…”这之类的问题,在分解阅读时可以顺便留意一下作者的观点态度。 (2)第一个问题,答案一般就在第一段。后面几问同理,这样整篇文章被分解成四五个部分,一部分最多三四个长句,对每个部分认真阅读,目标清晰,很容易得到正解;同时,每个部分,废话居多,真正的答案往往就其中一句话或其中一个关键短语,选对选项的关键在于找准同义替换(有种题型不能用找“同义替换”的方法,后面的补充说明里有讲)。(3)正确的选项往往以同义替换的形式出现。这一点是成败的关键,考研英语阅读的每一个问题都是非常严谨的,其严谨在于:正确选项实质上就是原文中某句话的同义替换,而不是靠蒙和猜,正确选项一定能在原文中找到相应的依据。 同义替换分2种。第1种是:正确选项中的某个短语和原文中的某个短语意思相同,如explore和probe都是“探索”,shared和collective都是“共同的”,purchase和for the sale 都表示“交易、买卖”;第2种是:正确选项是对原文中某句话的概括,如:“discovery is described as seeingwhat everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought” 概括起来就是“scientific work calls for acritical mind”(当然这里critical的一词多义要非常熟悉才行);“Politicians have repeatedly“backloaded” public-sector pay deals, keeping the pay increases modest but addingto holidays and especially pensions that are already generous”概括起来就是“the income in the statesector is indirectly augmented”(第二个例子的意思是“国有部门虽然工资没涨太多但是其福利奖金有所增加”,所以概括起来就是“间接地增加了国有部门收入”)。关于同义替换的具体运用,详见《附件一》。 (4)注意出题人设置干扰项时的惯用伎俩。干扰项无非以下几种: ①偷梁换柱:原文中说“人物A做了事件B”,干扰项为可能为“人物C做了事件B”,而人物C其实在原文中另一处出现的。如果仅凭印象选择,很容易出错。 ②前后混淆:如“人物A在文中第3段提出了某观点”,干扰项可能为第1段里的某个观点,前后顺序颠倒。原理上与偷梁换柱差不多。 ③以偏概全:原文中说“事件A的必要条件是B、C、D”,干扰项可能为“如果B发生,则A 一定发生”。 ④过度引申:原文中说“A今天做了某件事”,干扰项可能为“A经常做这件事” ⑤无中生有:干扰项是YY出来的,在原文中找不到依据,比过度引申更离谱 ⑥曲解原文:原文中说“A很好”,干扰项可能为“A不好”,当然不会这么直接

Fantasies of great wealth often involve visions of fancy cars and extravagant homes. Yet satisfaction with these material purchases wears off fairly quickly. What was once exciting and new becomes old-hat;regret creeps in. It is far better to spend money on experiences, say Ms Dunn and Mr Norton, like interesting trips, unique meals or even going to the cinema. These purchases often become more valuable with time—as stories or memories—particularly if they involve feeling more connected to others. 21. According to Dunn and Norton, which of the following is the most rewarding purchase? A. A big house. B. A special tour. C. A stylish car. D. A rich meal. 真题2008年Text 1: Last weekend Kyle MacDonald in Montreal threw a party to celebrate the fact that he got his new home in exchange for a red paper clip. Starting a year ago, MacDonald bartered the clip for increasingly valuable stuff, including a camp stove and free rent in a Phoenix flat. Having announced his aim (the house) in advance, MacDonald likely got a boost from techies eager to see the Internet pass this daring test of its networking power. “My whole motto(座右铭)was ‘Start small, think big, and have fun’, ”says MacDonald, 26, “I really kept my effort on the creative side rather than the business side. ” 41. The word “techies”(Line 4, Para 1) probably refers to those who are ___. A. afraid of technology B. skilled in technology C. ignorant of technology D. incompetent in technology 真题2008年Text 2: Some are skeptical .Steve Malanga of the conservative Manhattan Institute notes that Newark has deep social problems: over 60% of children are in homes without fathers. The school system, taken over by the state in 1995, is a mess. But there is also some cause for hope. Since Mr. Booker was elected, there has been a rise in investment and re-zoning for development. Only around 7% of nearby Newark airport workers used to come from Newark; now, a year, the figure is 30%.Mr Booker has launched a New York-style war on crime. So far this year, crime has fallen 11% and shootings are down 30 %( through the murder rate looks likely to match last year’s high). 49. Mayor Booker’s effort against crime seem to be ______ A. idealistic B. impractical C. effective D. fruitless 技巧2:对比的选项中有一个为答案。 真题2007年Text 4: Why is learning less important than a higher grade-point average(GPA)?

考研英语阅读从错一半到得38分,竟然有这种好方法..... 方法如下 1.词汇 词汇是基础,大纲词汇必须掌握。考研英语阅读中如果一句话中有一两个单词不认识,很可能导致这句话的意思搞错,甚至把整篇文章的主导思想搞错;如果问题选项中有单词不认识就更麻烦了。 说一下自己的体会,一开始做阅读练习的时候,错一大片,有时候甚至错一半,当时真是怕英语不过线,然后我痛定思痛,认真总结了阅读错的原因,我发现,是因为词汇关没过,文中一些单词不认识导致对文章关键句甚至作者的主体思想理解错误。其实之前我也把单词过了一两遍,但是忘得特别快,特别是一词多义,我只记住其最基本的意思,而记不住其他意思。 所以我下决心一定要攻克单词关,我看了新东方王江涛老师的文章之后,受益匪浅,然后开始一步一步地去做。我花了接近20天(视个人情况而定,我记东西很笨),几乎其它什么事也不做,就背单词。之前写错了,这20天背了两遍,后来每天花在单词上的时间明显缩短,因为已经比较熟悉了,最后四五遍背下来把单词书背得滚瓜烂熟,真的是每个单词的每一种意思都知道,而且经过四五遍记忆之后,不像以前那样容易忘了,因此两次重复的间隔周期可以延长,单词关算过了。不过刚开始这个背单词计划的

时候,真是痛苦得抓墙,不过两遍之后,轻松多了,因为记不住的越来越少,本来就记住的印象也越深。 最后做往年真题的时候,近几年的真题阅读都是错1个或全对,考研时阅读就错了1个,错的那个争议也比较大,不可强求吧。更重要的是英语掌握了得当的方法,节省了很多时间,可以投入更多的精力在数学和专业课上。 因此,要想阅读得高分,必须首先攻克单词。 2.词汇书选择 《星火式巧记速记精练》(分三册),这本书将词汇分类,便于记忆,特别有助于记住一词多义;很多人都推荐这本书,我之前也用过其它词汇书,最后觉得星火这本书是最佳选择。 背单词的具体思路如下: 首先找一本包括考研5500个单词的词汇书。5500个单词不可能全不认识——500个初中词汇和2000个高中词汇是基础,所以,真正需要记忆的词汇只有两三千个。然后每天坚持背诵一部分。如果记忆力较好,10天可以搞定;记忆力不好,20天也可以
